            Bug ID: 292080
           Summary: bsdinstaller exits when VGA disable jumper set on
                    Talos II
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: powerpc
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: powerpc
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

When starting a bare-metal installation of FreeBSD on a Raptor Talos II with
the VGA disable jumper set, the system boots up to rc.local and asks for the
terminal.
After selecting a terminal, the welcome dialog of bsdinstaller launches and
exits immediately.
The boot process then proceeds to a login prompt.

Workaround: log in as root and run /etc/rc.local or bsdinstaller manually.

Note: if the VGA disable jumper is removed, the bsdinstaller remains running
and the installation can continue.
